JaceBen Releases New Single “ILEKE” [Listen & Download Here]

JaceBen has released a new single, “ILEKE”.

Newsone Nigeria reports that fast-rising Nigerian artist JaceBen has officially released his new single, “Ileke,” a bold and culturally rooted record that goes beyond music to tell a deeper story of identity, value, and self-worth.

“Ileke”, a word deeply embedded in Yoruba tradition, refers to beads worn as symbols of royalty, spirituality, protection, and status. For JaceBen, the title is not just aesthetic; it is intentional. The song represents the journey of a young man discovering his worth, embracing his roots, and wearing his confidence unapologetically.

Speaking on the inspiration behind the track, JaceBen explains that Ileke was born from a place of reflection.

“It’s about knowing who you are and where you’re coming from,” he says. “In our culture, ileke is not worn by just anybody. It carries meaning. I wanted the song to feel like that, something earned, something powerful.”

Sonically, “Ileke” blends modern Afrobeat rhythms with subtle traditional elements, creating a sound that feels both contemporary and ancestral. The production is energetic yet grounded, designed to move bodies while still carrying a message. Lyrically, JaceBen speaks on resilience, pressure, growth, and the quiet confidence that comes with self-belief.

The release comes at a defining moment in the artist’s career. JaceBen has steadily built momentum as an independent act, earning media attention and growing his audience organically. With “Ileke,” he signals a new phase, one where sound, image, and message align more clearly than ever.

Unlike trend-driven releases, “Ileke” stands out for its intent. It is not just a song for the clubs or playlists; it is a cultural expression meant to resonate with young Africans navigating identity, ambition, and self-expression in a fast-moving world.

“I didn’t want to just drop a song,” JaceBen adds. “I wanted to drop something that means something, something that feels like wearing your crown without asking for permission.”

“Ileke” is now available on major streaming platforms, with visuals and promotional content set to follow. As JaceBen continues to carve his space in the Nigerian music scene, this release positions him as an artist unafraid to blend culture with confidence, and sound with substance.
